Market Definition:Global Antiaging Products and Services Market

As the skin ages, it loses its natural elasticity and becomes thinner, more fragile and laxer, taking on a wrinkled appearance. In modern society, there is a great increase in the search for eternal youth and an insatiable appetite for methods which could turn back the clock. This has triggered an explosion in the antiaging industry. In addition, technological advances in medicine for the prevention and treatment of deadly diseases help to increase life expectancy.

The aging process of the skin generally has two kinds of forms: natural aging and light aging. There are various factors which directly affect intrinsic aging such as ethnicity, anatomic variations, hormonal changes, extrinsic aging, drugs, smoking and sunlight exposure. These aging conditions can be treated by the antiaging products such as UV absorbers, anti-wrinkle products, anti-stretch products, others and services and therapies. For anti-aging, the cosmetics are commercially available products that can be used to improve the appearance of the skin. People are constantly demanding for more effective products that can essentially beautify the appearance and has resulted in augmented basic science research and product development in the cosmetics industry.

According to news provided by Stempeutics Research Pvt. Ltd., in July 2015, Cipla (India) launched a new anti-aging product which uses human bio-active factors. The product was launched with a brand name Cutisera, developed by Stempeutics. This product will be used for reducing fine lines and wrinkles, lightening dark spots, evening skin tone, improving skin firmness and improving skin hydration.

Antiaging Products and Services Market Size, Revenue, Share, Latest trends, Application, Growth in 2020. Top Companies are Elizabeth Arden Inc,...

If theres anything Ive learned from years of interviewing dermatologists, estheticians, and other skincare experts, its that prevention is more powerful than any skincare product. Just as we exercise to stay healthy and avoid disease later in life, we apply skincare to prevent environmental damage (the anti-aging benefit is a bonus!). And, if putting on sunscreen is cardio, doing microcurrent treatments is weight lifting.

Microcurrent uses low-grade electrical current to train facial muscles to look more lifted, firm, and tightened. If youre wondering if this is even legit, yes. Very. Originally introduced in medicine in the 1980s, microcurrent was first approved by the FDA as a treatment for Bells palsy and muscle paralysis. Now, its every facialists secret weapon.

Ive had microcurrent treatments done professionally before at fancy spas using expensive equipment, but latelyand out of necessity while in quarantine with the rest of the world Ive fallen back in love with doing at-home microcurrent facials with my palm-sized NuFace device. With the help of Tera Peterson, esthetician and co-founder of NuFace, I became a pro.

In fact, you shouldnt feel anything during the five to 10 minute treatment. Peterson suggests I use NuFace in the morning, after cleansing skin. To start, I apply a quarter-size amount of conducting gel around my collarbone, neck, gliding the NuFace on level five (high) in an upward motion. Each glide is five seconds, after which the device conveniently beeps as a guide for when to follow up with another glide in the next section.

I do this three times per area, continuing to glide upwards all the way up the contours of my jawline, cheeks, and above my brows toward my hairline. PS: There shouldnt be any actual tugging on your skin.

Go slow with each glide, Peterson says. Think about a bicep curl. Were delivering all of that microcurrent to this area of the face, which is in turn going to make the muscle stronger and tighter. For an extra boost, I detach the main NuFace head and use the Eye and Lip Enhancer attachment. It has two tiny prongs for delicate areas that I glide it below my lower lashes (to depuff) and to raise my brows for five second intervals (to lift).

Courtesy

After just five minutes of doing the microcurrent treatment, I can see a visible difference: My eyes are less puffy. My jawline is sharper and more defined. My brows are way lifted. My skin looks much firmer and brighter (or toned as my boyfriend put it when I showed him a before and after photo. See? Even his beauty-clueless self noticed!). Over on my Instagram stories, people piled my DMs when I posted before-and-afters saying they could really see a difference and wanted to know my secret, immediately.

While the product doesnt come cheap at $325, I was still enthusiastic about recommending it to people because I think of it as a major investment in my skin health. You could pay $800 for an injectable down the line...or $300 now and maybe not even have to prod your face with needles later on. As Peterson puts it, Microcurrent is all gain, without the pain.

Theres no set prescribed usage, but for results youll want to do microcurrent treatments three times a week, five minutes each time. Its all about consistency. Think of NuFace like exercise. Were working with muscle reeducation, Peterson says. Even if you say I have such a busy schedule and you stop using NuFace for a week, then start it back up, thats fine.

I kept up three times a week for a couple weeks now and already see a major difference that encourages me to keep it up, although I will admit its tempting to be lazy. Sometimes I just want to slap on SPF and be done with it. But, the awake and just-went-on-vacation-and-slept-10-hours look I get right after a treatment, and the long term benefits like stimulating collagen production, are supremely worth it.

Spring cleaning shouldnt be limited to your wardrobe. Youll also want to give your beauty stash a much-needed reboot once the temperatures start to rise. And yes, youll probably think about cleaning out your makeup bag first, as we all know broken blushes and old lipsticks tucked inside probably arent worth keeping anymore.However, its important to note that knowing how to clean out beauty products should extend to skincare and haircare products too.

If you need to hit the reset button, we tapped a makeup artist, an esthetician, a board-certified dermatologist, and some celebrity hairstylists to break down all those need-to-know hacks on how to rev up your routine asap. From expiration dates to cleaning tips, read on below to get your routine in tip-top shape before summer comes knocking.

Look For Expiration Dates On Your Products

If you didnt already know, using expired makeup can wreak havoc on your skin. According to certified makeup artist Naseeha Khan, the bacteria harbored in makeup can cause breakouts and inflammation.

With this in mind, she advised paying extra attention to expiration dates on the label, as it signifies when a product should be tossed out.

You can find expiry indicators on makeup products, usually on the label near the bottom, where you can also find the company, recycling, and other information, she said The symbol is an open jar with a number on itthis number indicates how many months post opening the product will last.

Toss Makeup Items Carefully

However, if you cant spot an expiration date on your product label, Khan explained that there are several rules of thumb to keep in mind when youre cleaning out your makeup bag.

Makeup products like mascara, for example, should be discarded after three months, she said, while eyeliners should be discarded after six months.Liquid products are more susceptible to bacteria build-up, which is why it is important to replace mascara this frequently, she said. Try to discard eyeliner products after six months.

Maybelline.

Similarly, lipstick and foundation products should be tossed within a 12 to 18-month timeframe, as Khan suggested that these items are usually in direct contact with your mouth, lips, and face.

Although they are in direct contact with your lips and mouth, the solid formula of most lip products (toss after 18 months) allows for longer usage lives, she noted. Be sure to discard foundation products after 12 months, as they can lose consistency and begin to smell.

Clean And Evaluate Tools And Brushes Carefully

Although its tempting to apply the spring cleaning concept to makeup brushes once a year, Khan said that its best to always clean brushes weekly to prevent bacteria from being spread between your skin.

Additionally, she advised taking the spring months to evaluate the condition of your tools, as brushes and makeup sponges can lose efficacy over time.

Beakey.

Reusable makeup sponges should be replaced once every three months so once a season may be a perfect schedule to follow for this, Khan explained. However, if you notice your brush bristles are frayed or shedding, it may be time to invest in new tools.

Refresh Your Tools

Aside from giving your makeup brushes a good clean, esthetician Leila Aalam recommended giving your facial tools the same attention, as facial brushes, tweezers, and loofahs should also be cleaned and tossed accordingly.

Baimei.

Pay attention to how long you are using your facial brushes, tweezers, and loofahs, Aalam said. Tweezers can be used for a longer time period as long as they are cleaned and disinfected after each use.

Clean Out Your Space

Additionally, she stressed the importance of cleaning the cups, bins, and jars where you store any tweezers. Doing so, she added, cuts down on bacteria overgrowth, and keeps your medicine cabinet or vanity clean.

I like to remove all the bins and jars from its shelving, and wipe down the area with a damp cloth( or a Lysol wipe) to remove any bacteria overgrowth, she explained.

Start To Transition Your Skincare Regimen

As natural is the change of seasons, board-certified cosmetic dermatologist Dr. Claire Chang, MD, said so are the changes that occur in your skin. Warmer months mean more heat, humidity, and sunshine, she added, making it wise to transition your skincare routine accordingly.

Compared to cooler seasons, skin during the spring and summer months tends to have higher oil and sweat production, increased hydration, and more visible pores, said Chang.

No7.

To make some easy tweaks to your skin-care regimen, Chang suggested starting by swapping your thick moisturizers for light-weight day creams that contain SPF protection.

Given you may be spending more time outdoors, the No7 Restore & Renew Multiaction Face & Neck Day Cream SPF 30 is a great lightweight day cream that is perfect for the spring and summer, she explained. It has SPF 30, and contains a powerful combination of anti-aging peptides, pro-retinol, and antioxidants.

Make Sure You Use SPF

If you havent been using a daily sunscreen product already, Chang said that now is a good time to start, as sun exposure is one of the most important culprits in accelerating skin aging.

Sun exposure produces free radicals, breaks down collagen, and increases pigmentation in the skin, she explained. Along with diligent sun protection, I recommend using antioxidants and anti-aging ingredients throughout the summer to counteract these effects.

Coppertone.

To pick a decent sunscreen product that can stand tall against harmful UVA/UVB rays, the American Academy of Dermatology suggests picking a broad-spectrum product with SPF30 and water-resistant protection.

However, no matter what kind of sunscreen you choose, youll definitely want to reapply your block frequently throughout the day, as the AAD explained that water-resistant sunscreen only lasts for 40 to 80 minutes.

Dont Skip Out On Retinol Products

If you took a break from using retinoids during the winter due to excessive dryness, now is the time to start using them again, according to Chang.

RoC.

Retinols and retinoids are one of the most powerful evidence-backed anti-aging ingredients on the market, she explained. And although you wont want to use them during the daytime, they still can keep applied before bedtime for best results.

Check PAO Labels On Your Products

Just like you would check expiration dates on other cosmetic products, celebrity hairstylist Annagjid Kee Taylor, told StyleCaster that youll also want to check the PAO (period after opening) date on your shampoo, hair mask, or leave-in products. If your product is past this date listed on the label, then its probably a good idea to throw it out, she added.

Most brands put a PAO (Period After Opening) on the products to give you an indication of how long they will last after you first open them, Taylor said. However, some hair products tend to last a bit longer, as products that are well-contained (aerosols, sprays, etc.), for example, usually have a longer shelf life.

Garnier Fructis.

Keep A Watchful Eye On Styling Products

And since styling products (think gels, creams, and pomades) are exposed more to open air (and your fingers!), Taylor explained that they will need to be replaced more quickly, as these products are exposed to germs and bacteria, and can easily become moldy if you arent careful.

Clean Your Hairbrushes Often

However, celebrity makeup artist Ricardo Rojas told StyleCaster that there really isnt a strict rule concerning how long to keep your hairbrushes. Alas, he still advises cleaning them regularly, in order to prevent you from tossing them out.

Wet Brush.

The best way to extend the life of your hairbrush is by removing the hair after each use, using a tail comb to rack out the hair, Rojas said. You will know the brush is working by making sure the bristles are still straight up and doing the work.

Burnout and tiredness

Tired, stressed, feeling on the edge of burnout? Youre not the only one. Burnout has become so common in society today. It is due to the modern ever-running lifestyle that the majority of us live in.

Why do you feel tired? Indeed, during burn out the adrenal glands become depleted. They are not secreting adequate hormones to function properly (Sarah Powell). Thats why, if not treated, you can find yourself in long term effects. These are such as insomnia, depression, weight gain, and lowered immunity.

Well, the mechanism of adrenal fatigue and burnout is understood. What you can do about it?

There is a simple & natural cure that you might neglect. A good herbal tea!

The benefits of herbal teas to our well-being have been long known. Many studies reclaimed these. Herbal teas can help to lower cortisol levels. Increase the production of mood-enhancing hormones like GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid), and dopamine. Thereby helping you to feel calmer and less anxious (Adrenal Fatigue Coach).

A word of caution: Herbal tea cannot replace a medical cure. Yet it can definitely bring natural calming effects and relaxation. It helps you unwind from a busy and tiring day.

Well, you can find quite readily available herbal teas on most supermarkets and food stores. They are also available online. Its quite easy to find. However, a good herbal tea purchase needs some considerations.

Herbal teas are not medicine. They thus arent regulated by theFDAand other regulators. So a trustworthy source is always a common sense. Have a tea infuser? Whole leaf teas are good in this case.Like to grow your own herbs? That would be for sure an enjoyable way to have a secure source of tea.

Although some herbal teas are highly safe to drink, some might interact with other treatments. Consider your pregnancy or known medical conditions/allergies. Talk with your doctor before taking a new type of herbs. Its always a good idea. Also,most herbal teas are safe to consume in regular but small amounts. But it is important not to go overboardat once.

The final consideration is, of course, which herbs to choose for your tea.

Need help dealing with burnout, anxiety, and insomnia? My best choices for herbal teas would be rooibos, caffeine-reduced green tea, chamomile, ginger, and licorice. Drink these calming teas. Breath their soothing scent. Practice relaxation techniques such as meditation and yoga. They can help you wind down in stressful periods.

Rooibos tea is made from a plant called Aspalathus linearis. It grows only in South Africa. The red rooibos tea that we usually see is the fermented tea. Its considered the best herbal tea in the world. It is caffeine-free, full of antioxidants and extremely safe to drink. It has a lot of beneficial substances such asaspalathin and nothofagin. They provide extraordinary health benefits. These include calming, skin and anti-aging benefits. Rooibos tea alsoblends perfectly with many other ingredients.

The only thing to be aware of is that green tea can have caffeine. This can prevent sleep if you drink in the evening.Therefore, my choice would be for a low percentage of caffeine green tea. And drink them in the morning!

Chamomile tea one of the most popular calming teas. It is easily accessible. A famous bedtime tea, for its relaxation effect and sleep improvement.Researchersfound that chamomile use showed a significant decrease in anxiety symptoms. Indeed, chamomile tea contains apigeninan antioxidant that directly targets neurotransmitters and brain receptors to induce relaxation (Very Well Mind). A pilot study (published in BMC Complementary and Alternative Medicine in 2011) also showed its effect on insomnia reduction.

Im Asian. Thats how ginger has been part of my childhood, in all of our family cooking recipes. Ginger has long since been used throughout Asia and the wider world. (Attention, ginger tea is different from ginseng tea, another plant)Researchshowed a positive health impact of ginger.Ginger tea has calming properties that may help lower your stress and tension. This is thought to be due to a combination of the strong aroma and healing properties. Therefore, in a burnout state, ginger can help reduce the feeling of stress and depression.

Whether to choose it or not? You will need to taste it. Ginger tea has a slightly bitter and invigorating flavor which is not the case of a gentle chamomille or rooibos teas. Also, as ginger benefit during pregnancy is controversial, dont hesitate to consult your doctor.

Finally, we cant forget Licorice tea!David Hoffman, Englands premier herbalist, recommended it for the adrenal cortex (what produces the stress hormone cortisol). So you know, its beneficial for stress reduction.A 2013studyfound that licorice extract may also increase the effects of anti-anxiety medications. A word of caution: If you are taking medications to treat anxiety, always talk to your doctor before trying a new herbal supplement or remedy.

In burnout, untreated stress and fatigue can lead to long term effects. These are such as insomnia, depression, weight gain, and lowered immunity. A simple & natural cure that you might neglect is a good herbal tea. Among those, rooibos, chamomile, green tea, ginger, and licorice are the most popular teas. They are great for relaxation, stress and fatigue relief.

I used to buy those very nice teas as gifts to friends and family during special occasions. Since my burnout, I decided that I merited them as well. I take care and love myself as I do to my beloved one. And I have to say, these royal herbal teas brought me sweet comforting moments. Try them and find out which one you prefer.

Global Botulinum Toxin Market: Snapshot

Botulinum toxin, known to the mankind as one of the most poisonous biological substances, is a neurotoxin produced by theClostridium botulinum bacteria.Clostridium botulinum, the gram-positive, anaerobic, spore-forming bacteria commonly found in water, soil, on plants, and the intestinal tracts of animals can be elaborated into eight exotoxins, all interfering with the process of neural transmission and causing muscle paralysis.

From the earliest recorded uses of the toxin for the management ofstrabismus in humans to being approved for the treatment of a number of spasticity-related conditions, it has now started witnessing demand across nearly all important sub-specialties of the medicine sector. It was approved by the FDA in 2002 for the cosmetic application of decreasing glabeller forehead frown lines temporarily.

Get Sample Copy of the Report @https://www.tmrresearch.com/sample/sample?flag=B&rep_id=1196

Ever since, botulinum toxins continue to play a key role in the management of a wide range of medical conditions, especially hemifacial spasm, focal dystonias and strabismus, several spastic movement disorders, hyperhidrosis, hypersalivation, headaches, and certain chronic diseases that only partially respond to medical treatments. The set of potential new indications treatable by botulinum toxins is expanding at a rapid pace.

Cosmetological applications, one of the most popular and profitable applications of botulinum toxins, include correction of creases, fine lines, and wrinkles over the face, neck, chin, and chest. Dermatological applications of the toxin, including hyperhidrosis, are also gaining increased popularity, chiefly as botulinum toxin injections are often well tolerated and lead to few side effects.

Global Botulinum Toxin Market: Overview

The international botulinum toxin (BNT) market is gigantically advantaged by the soaring number of applications for different purposes. A recent study has revealed that BNT can be used for benefitting patients with shoulder disorders such as those who undergo rotator cuff surgery. BNT in the form of onabotulinum toxin A (OnabotA) is licensed in several countries such as Korea to help with neurogenic detrusor overactivity (NDO) induced urinary incontinence attributable to multiple sclerosis or spinal cord injury.

The world BNT market could be segregated as per two key classifications, i.e. product type and end use. Maintaining a promising share in the global market, botulinum toxin type A (BNTA) is envisioned to be a faster growing product with applications in both aesthetic and therapeutic fronts.

The report on the global BNT market has been compiled after taking comprehensive efforts to gather vital insights for procuring future growth prospects, opportunities to rise against the odds, and data related to the current and future competitive scenario.

Global Botulinum Toxin Market: Trends and Opportunities

The aesthetic classification by type of end use is prognosticated to make a positive difference in the overall BNT market with a record share registered in 2015. BNT finds application in the treatment of glabellar lines, crows feet, and frown lines. As a result, it has received a significant demand in terms of primary cosmetic application for controlling aging signs and enhancing facial appearance.

Since BNT is a neurotoxin, the lackluster in the adoption of neurotoxins could raise questions on the demand in the global BNT market. The market growth could be further hindered with substandard reimbursement coverage on few products and extortionate treatment procedures. Moreover, shortness of breath and allergic reactions are some of the side effects witnessed on the part of neurotoxins.

However, a substantial number of BNT applications is expected to birth in the near future on account of large investments in research and development projects. The demand for BNT is anticipated to augment even more with the increase in demand for non-invasive and minimally invasive treatments. Vendors can also keep their hopes alive during any turmoil in the market with the escalation of geriatric population.

The therapeutic use of BNT is predicted to see a constant rise owing to the growing application of botulinum toxin B (BNTB) in the treatment of cervical dystonia and Xeomin and Dysport products for hyperhidrosis and blepharospasm.

Global Botulinum Toxin Market: Regional Outlook

Asia Pacific is analyzed to possess the potential to rise as a reliable geographical segment to bet the bottom dollar on. The demand in the Asia Pacific BNT market is envisaged to aggravate as players ride on the growing aged population and their need for anti-aging products. Besides augmenting disposable income, vendors in the Asia Pacific region could heavily benefit from the hot social awareness about commercial anti-aging products in countries such as Japan, China, and India.

Having won the crown of dominant growth in 2015, North America is expected to raise the growth bar once again on the back of the elevating BNT demand for improving external appearances and other aesthetic reasons.

Global Botulinum Toxin Market: Companies Mentioned

Considering their influence in the world BNT market on the basis of commercial availability and brand identity, companies such as Merz Pharma GmbH and Co. KgaA, Ipsen Group, Allergan, Inc., US Worldmeds, LLC, and Medytox, Inc. are predicted to top the list of best global players. These players are foreseen to take advantage of the colossal adoption of BNT on account of tangible benefits such as speedy healing of wounds, shorter stay in the hospital, and small incision.

HillDT Solutions sells decompression tables and also provides comprehensive training, certification, and ongoing clinical support to its chiropractor clients for decompression therapy.

There are a lot of products out there that are more traction-based, and VanderWals company was created as the result of a void he perceived to be in the market: Years ago, my partner (Burkhart) bought a decompression table that came with nothing more than a DVD, and it took him months to figure out how to use it and get consistent results.

VanderWals company focuses on selling and providing clinical training and support for its own brand of decompression tables for decompression therapy. Sales agents can explain the basic functionality, but if you have a complex case, who do you go to for answers? We developed a master team of chiropractors who have experience developing best practices. And these best practices are incorporated into his companys training and certification program.

VanderWal says that chiropractors are well-suited to provide decompression therapy services with this technology. Changing health insurance models are resulting in more surgeons losing patients to less-invasive or lower-cost therapies, he explains, and chiropractors could be benefiting from this increased business.

As a chiropractor, you are an expert on the spine, he says. Decompression is an extension of what you already know and will allow you to provide therapy to patients who may not respond to traditional chiropractic care.

VanderWal says he understands chiropractors initial hesitance to enter the area of decompression therapy, adding that this hesitation goes beyond the cost of investing in the technology.

Chiropractors have a natural compassion for their patients, and with decompression, they may be concerned about uncertainty of outcome, he says. Its hard for them to ask a patient for $3,000, and when they do, they think, Boy, thisd better work. Part of it is also credibility, and we strive to transfer credibility to our chiropractor clients. The ongoing mentoring we provide helps in this regard tremendously.

Marketing decompression therapy varies from practice to practice, VanderWal says. It depends on where you are in terms of years in the profession and patient base.

If youre a new physician trying to generate new patients, you will probably take a more aggressive role in marketing this technology, he explains. For the chiropractor in practice 20 years, youll find you have a lot of good candidates for this therapy right under your nose. Maybe some patients have hit a plateau and have not progressed. This therapy can help chiropractors achieve better outcomes for their patients.

Any chiropractors interested in pursuing an investment in decompression therapy technology should remember that the therapy is an add-on and not meant to replace traditional chiropractic services.

This is a complementary therapy that you can add to your practice and do remarkable things for your patients, including relief in complex disc cases, he says. Physicians who put their heart into it will succeed. The capital investment takes care of itselfthat is the last thing to worry about.

Nelson Thibodeaux, founder of Texas Biostetic Instruments, says hes found an excellent way for chiropractors to augment their regular practice with natural anti-aging therapies that can achieve increased satisfaction and wellness in patients, all while enhancing cash flow.

For more than 10 years, Thibodeauxs company has been providing training, equipment, and support to chiropractors in the noninvasive arts of microcurrent and LED fat-loss therapies. All-cash services open up a lot of additional opportunities for DCs, he says. We have specialized in primarily Class 1 devices that are readily available to use, and these treatments have even been endorsed by some chiropractic boards.

According to Thibodeaux, natural microcurrent therapies that serve as both a pain management device as well as a tool for firming, toning, and rejuvenation have greatly advanced as a result of the Department of Defenses underwritten research in regenerative medicine for wounded soldiers. Some devices can even incorporate a product whose active ingredient mimics tropoelastin (a precursor to the generation of elastin in the body) into microcurrent therapy to effect immediate improvement in skin elasticity.

With the right system, a DC can provide visible face lifts, and offer clients toning and slimming in the abdomen, legs, and arms, Thibodeaux says. And radiant lipolysis treatments promote weight and fat loss in the abs, arms, legs, bust, and buttocks as part of an unattended treatment.

Thibodeaux says that chiropractors are in a unique position to augment their current practice with anti-aging services. Chiropractors typically have a majority population of female patients, he says. These patients are interested in their overall wellness and health.

Thibodeauxs company provides on-site microcurrent and other anti-aging treatments and also trains chiropractors in the use of its systems. In addition, the company offers a full range of products that, when used in combination with the equipment, provide synergistic reactions that result in anti-aging rejuvenation and extend the results of treatments.

With regard to establishing price points for patients, Thibodeaux says that typically an office can recoup its investment on a device after selling about a half-dozen treatment packages.

One of our approaches with chiropractors when it comes to marketing is that we train them to show results to their patients, he says. We tell them to take a patient in and explain to them that this is a natural procedure; it will take a little longer, but it is not a $20,000 plastic surgery. We will do one treatment on half of the face and take a photo, then finish the treatment. Afterwards, we show the patient the dramatic difference between the treated side and the untreated side.

According to Thibodeaux, the best advice he can give to chiropractors looking to succeed in the anti-aging and wellness field starts and ends with motivating your employees.

You have to instill excitement in your staff, he says, adding that team members will introduce patients to these offerings with enthusiasm. You also have to look at your entire patient base and use that as a baseline to start this part of your business. This is an opportunity to reach out to patients you havent seen in five years.

Bryan Muth, DC, has mastered an approach to providing chiropractic care that takes his skills out of the traditional private practice and brings them to corporations and their employees firsthand.

Muth leads corporate wellness at Standard Process, and serves as the medical services manager for Cultivate, an on-site, chiropractic-led wellness company. He has made a career out of providing nutritional, ergonomic, and chiropractic therapies to corporate employees, while also training and certifying chiropractors who are interested in pursuing this same specialization path.

Muth says he finds a great deal of satisfaction in providing his services via this on-site corporate model because the results significantly impact employee wellness and performance.

By helping businesses improve employee health factors and achieve productivity gains, you are a transformative force within a business, Muth says. It also stands to reason youre creating value and, as a result, new career opportunities, security, and practice expansion for yourself as a chiropractor.

According to Cultivate research, the on-site, chiropractic-centered wellness model results in statistically and clinically significant differences in employee health, including the reduction of long-term illnesses.

The correlation of healthier, happier employees being more productive and less likely to incur health-related costs flows naturally from report findings, says Jerry Curtin, Cultivates president and general manager.

Muth agrees. I started looking into nutrition and longevity and realized that making a career out of combining these factors with results-driven chiropractic therapies can really make a difference in patients lives, he says.

Cultivate offers a comprehensive certification program that equips chiropractors with the tools they need to influence employee nutrition, musculoskeletal health, and overall productivity. If youre looking to enter this branch of chiropractic services, youll need to acquire skills and knowledge in the areas of HIPAA regulations, nutrition, fitness, employee safety, and more.

Weve seen firsthand the impact that dedicated, trained chiropractors can have being on-site as part of an organizations overall wellness program, Curtin says. [Our program] is intended to help expand career options for chiropractors looking to take their practice to the next level while also helping to transform communities through wellness.

Muth says the benefits of on-site corporate wellness make practicing chiropractic all the more exciting. I really like the idea of helping people in a corporate setting and seeing more and more people accomplish things in their jobs faster and more accurately, he says. You really become a part of the company. Whats more, data has shown a significant decrease in healthcare costs for the corporations who invest in on-site wellness services for their employees, he says.

As far as advice to chiropractors who might be interested in this type of career, Muth says information is power. He recommends going online to learn more about how you can incorporate this specialty into your career. And the best thing is that chiropractors do not have to leave their own practice. They can integrate this specialty into their private practices, and that can help their practices grow in turn.

Anita Shannon, owner and founder of TheraCupping, focuses on bringing the power of high-end massage (particularly vacuum therapy) to chiropractors who are looking to implement natural tissue-generation techniques into their practices.

Since 2002, Shannons company has been training and providing ongoing support to chiropractors, physical therapists, occupational therapists, massage therapists, and other healthcare professionals whose main mission is to improve overall quality of life in their patients.

With regard to vacuum therapy, Treatments can be very short in duration, and the effects are quick and remarkable, she says. If a chiropractor is working with someone who has tight fascia, they can keep adjusting that person, but the fascia or shortened muscle tissue will pull the adjustment back out. Vacuum therapy can help to loosen the fascia and release soft tissue so the chiropractors adjustment can stay in place, she says.

We can achieve a significant increase in range of movement using vacuum therapy, Shannon adds. The techniques soften the tissue and prep it for adjustment techniques in a way that chiropractors have not seen before.

Her company also offers education for chiropractors looking to gain hands-on knowledge of vacuum therapy techniques. The company continually gathers research obtained from various patient case studies.

The machine that Shannon uses for conducting treatments is offered at a fairly low price point for chiropractors seeking to invest in a new service. Our focus is all about the techniques and applications, and the machine makes the work so easy, she says.

According to Shannon, one area in which vacuum therapy has provided significant benefits is a realm that chiropractors might not consider relevant to them. While vacuum therapies are often used for joint issues and replacements, injury recovery, and chronic-pain issues, we have found that mastectomy patients experience major improvements with vacuum therapy treatments, she says.

We have had great results with mastectomy recovery and prepping for reconstruction, Shannon explains. I see this as an excellent adjunct therapy for chiropractors. They work not only with their regular patients, but they add a large number of new patients with a vital need. These women would really benefit from adjustments after what they have been through, and no one is noticing that.

Almost every post-mastectomy patient weve worked with has shoulders and a head that have shifted forward, with adhesions and scar tissue impacting the position of the skeletal structure, Shannon says. Vacuum therapy, combined with traditional chiropractic techniques, can significantly ease these burdens whether a woman moves forward with reconstruction or not.

Vacuum therapy works in reconstruction preparation by loosening the adhesions and scar tissue resulting from the mastectomy, Shannon explains. It aims to prepare and open the area to create space for the implant, and after the surgery it helps to soften the tissue and scars.

We look at vacuum therapy as a missing link in chiropractic, Shannon says. It can be huge addition to a chiropractors menu, generating unlimited new business.

Referral systems for outpatient clinics are really mounting, Shannon adds. This type of therapy could actually bring medical communities closer, as surgeons refer their patients to other healthcare facilities (such as chiropractic offices) that can provide such beneficial adjunct care.

The experts here suggest that by adding a skilled modality to your existing practice such as massage or decompression therapy, you can significantly broaden your patient base and, whats more, add cash-based services. This can be especially attractive as these kinds of additional services wont necessarily complicate your billing and collections picture. A new angle on your practice just might invigorate your enthusiasm, too.

Seattle Gummy Company (SGC) Launches Innovative Performance-Focused Gummies On Amazon - Walla Walla Union-Bulletin

I am sure that what comes to your mind is that small bottle of olive oil you buy for spiritual purposes. That is not the one I am referring to. The one I am talking about is Extra virgin olive oil and it can never be that cheap.

Olive oil is a liquid fat obtained from olives (the fruit of Olea europaea; family Oleaceae), a traditional tree crop of the Mediterranean Basin.

The oil is produced by pressing whole olives. It is commonly used in cooking, for frying foods or as a salad dressing. It is also used in cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, soaps, and as a fuel for traditional oil lamps and has additional uses in some religions.

In folk medicine, olive oil has been used for every thing from reducing muscle aches and hangovers, to use as an aphrodisiac, laxative and sedative.

Olive oil is naturally cholesterol, sodium and carbohydrate-free. While most people think deep green olive oil indicates a higher quality, color is not a factor. Greener oils comes from green olives (black olives yield pale oil). Olive oil coats rather than penetrate, so foods fried in olive oil are less greasy than foods fried in other oil varieties.

Of all the types of olive oil, extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) is the best because it is made by cold pressing the olive fruit. It contains higher amounts of polyphenols.

Polyphenols give olive oil its unique taste and improve its shelf life. Polyphenol intake has been associated with lower incidence of cancer and coronary heart disease (CHD).

Rich in antioxidants, vitamin K, and vitamin E, olive oil boasts a good nutritional profile. It has a higher concentration of mono-saturated fat like oleic acid and palmitoleic acid.

Because Olive oil is a major component in the Mediterranean diet, evidence shows that the Mediterranean populations have reduced risk for certain chronic diseases and extended life expectancy compared with other populations in the world.

These are some of the benefits:

Prevents inflammation and good for pain relief

The Monell Chemical Senses Center found that Ibuprofen and Extra Virgin olive oil have the same kind of anti-inflammatory properties, even though the substances are otherwise completely unrelated. Their polyphenols (a type of antioxidant) act on the same receptor in the back of your throat, which is what can cause a ticklish sensation for some when they swallow it. Olive oil is rich in polyphenols that have anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties. As a result, its use helps inhibit the growth of pathogenic bacteria and relieve inflammation.

Olive oil is good for weight loss

Olive oil is an excellent oil to use in the kitchen. Use it on salads, with breads and on the top of many dishes. It lowers glycemic index of the food, making it digest more slowly and keeping hunger pangs at bay during the hours after the meal. You can cook with olive oil, but only at low temperatures. A top quality olive oil is ruined by heating.

It is filled with healthy fats

The FDA reports that taking olive oil each day can reduce your risk of coronary heart disease and strokes. Olive oil is mostly monounsaturated oil, which helps to increase HDL, (good cholesterol) and decrease LDL (bad cholesterol). High quality, fresh, cold pressed, extra virgin olive oil has additional antioxidant properties that protect against heart diseases.

It contains Oleic acid

Using olive oil may protect against certain forms of cancer, especially colon cancer. Olive oil contains oleic acid and other phenols that act as antioxidants. Olive oil consumption was linked to a substantial decrease in breast cancer risk. The oleic acid and antioxidants in olive oil protected against other cancers too.

Olive oil in the Medicine cabinet

Good for Sunburn, rashes including nappy (diaper) rash, insect bites. Gently rub on a few drops of olive oil and leave uncovered. It sooths the itching and speeds the healing.

Contains beauty benefits

It has anti-aging properties, keeps hair healthy, improves nail health, can be used as makeup remover, moisturizes skin.

Manage diabetes

In a cohort study published in the journal Nutrition and Diabetes in 2017, it showed that olive oil can help in preventing and managing diabetes when included in the daily diet.

Health benefits of Olive oil (1) - Daily Sun

The most innovative health and anti-aging tool ever developed. Every cell in your body contains thousands of tiny bubble-like structures called mitochondria. It is in these mitochondria that oxygen is converted to energy by burning fat and sugar. Bio-Energy Testing measures how well your mitochondria are functioning. Absolutely nothing is more critical to your health than mitochondrial function. Poor mitochondrial function is the root cause of every disease, obesity, and even the very process of aging itself. If your mitochondrial functioning is optimal, congratulations! If not, the information from Bio-Energy Testing can be used to determine what you need to do to correct the problem.

Every single aspect of your physiology from your ability to heal to your very thoughts themselves are 100% dependent on energy production.

Bio-Energy Testing involves the use of a device connected to a computer that is able to measure how much oxygen the body uses and how much carbon dioxide the body is producing at a given time. A series of measurements are taken at rest and during a progressively more difficult exercise program. The Bio-Energy Testing computer program then calculates:

Bio-Energy Testing can also determine:

John (the name is fictitious, but the case is not) is a 64 year old man who loves life. He came to the clinic because he wants to be as healthy as he can be. He has known us for several years, and knows that being healthy is a lot more than just not being sick.

John had the usual symptoms typical of a man his age, noting a decrease in his physical and mental performance from what he had enjoyed as a young man. His comprehensive anti-aging evaluation revealed a healthy man with various commonly seen biochemical and hormonal imbalances.

His biological age was 76. That means that even though he was healthy and getting along just fine, his body had aged to the point that he was producing energy with an efficiency comparable to the average 76 year old. In the long run, this energy deficit was putting Johns health in serious jeopardy. John knew he wasnt getting any younger, but he had underestimated just how fast he was losing ground over the years.

When he received the news Johns response was, I dont care what I have to do Doc, I just want to be healthy thirty years from now. Armed with this motivation and the information from his assessment, we established a targeted, individualized nutritional, hormonal, dietary, and exercise program for John.

The good news is that John really responded rapidly. Six months later his biological age was measured at 54, and he was feeling and performing on a much higher level than he had experienced for quite a few years. Within six months his body had gone from functioning like a 76 year old to that of a man over 20 years younger.

Johns case is not all that unusual, and just underlines how effective currently available anti-aging strategies can be. Additionally, not only is he feeling better, but he has also reversed every single disease risk factor that we discovered. Taking care of sick people year after year made us realize long ago that improving vitality and preventing disease is a lot better than even the most remarkable cure.

Treat yourself to a healing vacation

Boosting ones immunity is of paramount importance nowadays. Do you even know where to start?

If you are looking to escape into a peaceful retreat and at the same time learn how to change your lifestyle and improve your health, you can check out the various programs offered jointly by go2Health and Sonyas Garden. Through a healing vacation, you will learn the science of using food, sleep, exercise and nature as medicine in addressing the root cause of your disease.

One such retreat is happening on March 30 and 31 and we asked program lead Dr. Oyie Balburias about his insights into womens wellness (March being Womens Month).

The Philippine STAR: What are the most prevalent lifestyle problem of working women?

Dr. Oyie Balburias: Due to their professional duties, functions and responsibilities juggling their roles as a mother and caregiver to the family working women suffer from chronic stress that, if persistent, will result in hormone imbalances. Persistence of hormone imbalances as a result of chronic stress later on leads to several conditions and diseases affecting womens health, namely obesity, infertility, irregular and painful menstruations, PCOS, endometriosis, fibroids and infertility, to name a few. Hormone imbalances will also impact on the sleep quality and quantity, which in the end will further perpetuate the imbalance.

As a lifestyle coach and medical practitioner, could you share three lifestyle hacks or adjustments women can do be healthier?

Always have me time. Always have time for relaxation and engage in de-stressing activities (meditation and meditative exercises) or self care so the stressors will not be chronic and persistent. In doing so, there will be a balance of the sympathetic nervous system (fight) and the parasympathetic nervous system (relaxation response). Balance of this system will prevent the biologic response of our body to chronic stress which leads to hormone imbalances. Have a balanced and optimal nutrition. Its not the number of calories, but the composition and quality of food that you are eating that will impact on your metabolism. Foods that are whole, real and unprocessed are best. Every macronutrients (fats, proteins and carbohydrates) and micronutrients (vitamins, minerals and phytonutrients) are needed by our body. Eliminating one will result in the body system creating a biologic response.

Breathe. If you find yourself overwhelmed by chaos and challenges, the best way to deal with it is to breathe and practice mindfulness.

Sleep deprivation and sedentary lifestyle will further aggravate and perpetuate hormone imbalances. Chronic sleep deprivation will affect their energy level, which leads to fatigue. Chronic fatigue leads to a sedentary lifestyle, which then further contributes to fat gain and obesity. Hormone imbalances contribute to cravings for carbohydrates and simple sugars, further aggravating the condition.

Eight hours is the amount of time that our body needs in order for the different stages of sleep to occur. NREM and REM stages of sleep, the deep sleep and not so deeper part of our sleep. In each stage, different biological, biochemical and physiological process are happening in order to prepare our resiliency for the following day. Adequate sleep is required for numerous biochemical reactions in the body. It is essential for normal cellular and tissue function, because numerous restorative functions occur during sleep, especially stages 3 and 4. Optimal sleep is important for growth hormone(GH) secretion. GH is the most potent hormone for fat metabolism. If there is a dysfunction with sleep in regard to inadequate quantity or depth there can be numerous adverse effects in the body.

Botanicals for dysmenorrhea include cinnamon bark, peppermint oil and ginger root. To decrease hot flashes, you need red clover and sage. For fibroids (myoma) and endometriosis, take turmeric, rosemary leaf and milk thistle.

Treat yourself to a healing vacation - Philippine Star

LOS ANGELES From face lifts to tummy tucks, there are plenty of options for people looking to take advantage of surgery in order to look better or appear younger. Now, a new study conducted at the University of California, Los Angeles says that a rhinoplasty, more commonly referred to as a nose job, can help women appear up to three years younger.

While the subject of youthful appearance and beauty is often a subjective matter, researchers took a novel approach to come to their conclusions: machine learning facilitated by artificial intelligence. This advanced technology was used to analyze the before and after images of 100 female rhinoplasty patients of varying ages (16-72). All of the analyzed women had undergone a nose job for cosmetic reasons by the same UCLA surgeon who led this study, Dr. Robert Dorfman.

After at least 12 weeks post-op, the womens pictures were analyzed by computers. The AI then estimated each womans age by cropping their face from the image and then running it through a complex algorithm.

Rhinoplasty is widely recognized as a facial beautification procedure, but it isnt commonly known for its anti-aging effects, comments Dr. Dorfmana, a resident physician in the division of plastic and reconstructive surgery at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA, in a release.

A typical rhinoplasty entails structural changes to face bones and nose cartilage achieved via small incisions made by surgeons while the patient is under anesthesia. Of course, each procedure is specially implemented to the patients individual face, features, and desires for the surgerys outcome.

This is the first time that scientific evidence has emerged that a nose job can help a woman appear younger; most people opt for a rhinoplasty because they are unhappy with the general appearance of their nose, or due a to a facial injury.

This technology allows us to accurately estimate age in an objective way and has proven to recognize patterns and features of aging beyond what the human eye can perceive, Dr. Dorfman says.

The rejuvenating effects were most prominent among women over the age of 40, with the computer estimating that some older women appeared up to seven years younger following their surgery. That being said, only 25 women over the age of 40 were included in the study, so researchers stress that additional work must be done to confirm these findings.

The nose loses support as it ages and can take on a more prominent or droopy appearance, comments Dr. Jason Roostaeian, a senior author on the study. When we lose facial fat and volume in our cheeks, which are the canvas that our nose sits on, the nose becomes more prominent.

Dr. Roostaeian went on to say that tweaking the appearance of the nose can help ones entire face appear younger. This is something we have subjectively thought for many decades but now we have objective evidence through artificial intelligence to support this.

The study is published in the Aesthetic Surgery Journal.

More Than Looks: Getting A Nose Job Takes Years Off A Womans Face Too, Study Finds - Study Finds

Aging is an inevitable phenomenon. Over the last 40 years, there has been an incredible focus on the aesthetics of aging, particularly with an emphasis on cosmetic anti-aging therapies. These efforts have faced their share of controversy, as scientists continue to debunk false advertising and anti-aging therapies that are not backed by evidence-based medicine. Nonetheless, regardless of the controversy, an entire industry and therapeutic cosmos has silently grown around the promise of aesthetic rejuvenation.

The anti-aging market is positioned to reach $271 billion by 2024. Studies report that anti-wrinkle products alone will reach $12.8 billion dollars in market share by 2027. The American Society of Plastic Surgeons also noted the growth in rates of cosmetic surgery procedures from the year 2000 to 2018: breast augmentation procedures increased by 48%, abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) procedures were up by 107%, and most notably, the use of Botox injections increased by an astounding 845%. According to this report, there has been an overall increase by 163% in the number of total cosmetic procedures from the year 2000 to 2018. Indeed, these startling figures not only indicate the immense value of this market, but also point to an industry that shows no signs of slowing down.

Plastic surgeon marking the skin for surgery.

Congruently, healthcare providers and practices have also benefited from this immense growth. An Allegran/BSM Medical Aesthetics Database study found that revenues have steadily increased for medical aesthetic and dermatology practices/clinics across the USA, due in large part to providers offering more varied aesthetic services and hiring staff dedicated solely to this business. Industry growth is likely also due to the fact that the practice of cosmetic medicine, which was once a domain reserved solely for dermatologists and plastic surgeons, is now being practiced by other specialists; in a 2014 survey, it was reported that upto 22% of family physicians are now providing some form of cosmetic and aesthetic medicine in their practices. Thus, this phenomenon is permeating all aspects of the modern healthcare practice.

However, as with any multibillion dollar industry that undergoes dramatic and exponential growth, the rapid rise of the anti-aging market has caused controversy. In 2008, a group of 51 scientists published a groundbreaking scientific report, raising concerns around the lack of scientific and evidence-based medicine behind some anti-aging treatments. More recently, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration is similarly attempting to address concerns in this area, warning consumers about sham products and cosmetic myths. Fortunately, there is a growing scientific community that is focused on educating the public about evidence-based anti-aging strategies and techniques, so that consumers are well informed and aware of genuine, scientifically proven therapies.

Variety of skin and body care products.

Ultimately, however, in order to responsibly grow this industry, certain parameters need to be maintained. As with any other medical procedure or pharmaceutical product, regulators and practitioners alike need to be increasingly wary of new or untested products that claim to have anti-aging effects without significant evidence-based backing. The same should be said about the practice of actually administering these products to patients. Anti-aging therapy should be considered a form of medical practice, and as with any form of medicine, it is imperative that governing bodies place strict standards of competency, training, and technical pre-requisites prior to allowing practitioners to administer these therapies on their own accord. These steps will certainly be necessary in the coming decades, as there is no doubt that public demand will continue to fuel this phenomenon. However, maintaining close oversight and a strict emphasis on evidenced-based medicine, is the only way to ensure the safe, sustainable, and patient-centered growth of this robust industry.

Anti-Aging And Aesthetic Medicine: The Silent Rise Of This Multibillion Dollar Industry - Forbes

Netflix is stirring up controversy by giving Gwyneth Paltrow a platform to share what several critics are calling pseudoscience with her new show, The Goop Lab, which debuted this week.

The show, which Netflix files under provocative and quirky, is described as the following: Leading with curiosity, Gwyneth Paltrow and her goop team look at psychedelics, energy work and other challenging wellness topics.

The topics being tackled in the series range from energy healing, psychic mediums and orgasm workshops to taking psychedelics as a form of therapy and plunging into freezing water to stimulate the immune system.

Along with the Daily Beast calling the show a nightmare, Time writer Judy Berman writes: As with the brand itself, whats disturbing about the show is that when you combine Gwyneths aura of trustworthiness with a mishmash of real science, New Age nonsense, vague female empowerment rhetoric, naked commercialism and some startling knowledge gaps in areas where Goop claims expertise, the result has its unique dangers.

But in the shows defense, some of the featured wellness practices are supported by science. In one episode, for example, it appears that Paltrow is getting a PRP, or platelet-rich plasma, facial (what some call a vampire facial, which is a trademarked term) an anti-aging treatment thats popular with celebrities.

With the facial, venous blood is taken from the patient and separated into the cellular component and the plasma component, Nava Greenfield, MD, of Schweiger Dermatology Group in New York City, explains to Yahoo Lifestyle. The plasma is then injected or topically applied back to the patient in specific locations. It can be used for hair loss, or in combination with microneedling for the face. Microneedling is a popular procedure where tiny needles are used to induce a specific kind of injury to the first and second layer of skin, promoting collagen synthesis. When used in combination with PRP, superior results are often obtained.

Although it may sound out there, the facial stimulates the production of collagen to help tighten, smooth, and improve skin tone, according to the Cleveland Clinic. As with any injection, the treatment does carry a small risk of bleeding, pain or infection, but is considered safe.

In another episode, people really, Goops employees who have volunteered to try these experimental wellness treatments take psychedelic drugs, leaving one employee sobbing on the floor and then later saying, I went through years of therapy in about five hours.

David Spiegel, MD, director of the Stanford Center for Integrative Medicine, tells Yahoo Lifestyle that theres actually some interesting research on the psychotherapeutic effects of psychedelics (such as MDMA and magic mushrooms), with one 2018 National Institutes of Health study calling the therapy potentially life-preserving. Some clinical trials are showing it helps with post-traumatic stress disorder and depression in people nearing the end of life, he says. It can help people come to terms with impending death.

But Spiegel emphasizes that psychedelic drugs need to be used in a controlled setting and in combination with psychotherapy for these mental health benefits.

Still, plenty criticize The Goop Lab (or really, anything Goop or Gwyneth Paltrow-related, for that matter), and question the legitimacy and safety of some of the practices in the series, pointing out the lack of objective experts. But while many may view the decision as an oversight, Elise Loehnen, chief content officer at Goop and executive producer of The Goop Lab, suggested to Fast Company that it was deliberate: We felt like we would be manufacturing drama by trying to find a detractor.

Timothy Caulfield, research chair in health law and policy and professor in the Faculty of Law and School of Public Health at the University of Alberta in Canada has been vocal about his criticism of The Goop Lab, writing on Twitter that the series is an infomercial for [Paltrows] pseudoscience business a business worth an estimated $250 million.

The topics covered are classic wellness woo: a mashup of the supernatural, spiritual and science-y, Caulfield tells Yahoo Lifestyle. Some topics, like the cold therapy, use the familiar strategy of a powerful testimonial the 'inventor Wim Hof with an extreme experience cold! and a dash of scientific speculation to make it seem credible.

Spiegel is also wary of the series, telling Yahoo Lifestyle: Goop is her company so its an infomercial, basically. Shes a great actress, but that doesn't make her an expert on these so-called treatments. Its fine to explore things as long as you dont pretend your exploration is more than what it is. I dont like the pretense of it being a scientific examination.

Several other doctors, most notably Jennifer Gunter, MD, have repeatedly called out Paltrow and Goop in the past for what Business Insider calls scientifically indefensible and potentially harmful health information and products, including the now-famous jade and rose quartz vaginal eggs. Goop claimed the stone eggs provided health benefits when inserted vaginally namely, balance their hormones, regulate menstrual cycles, prevent uterine prolapse and increase bladder control, according to the Los Angeles Times. But after a lawsuit was filed by 10 state prosecutors in California over advertisements not backed by competent and reliable scientific evidence, the company ended up paying $145,000 in civil penalties. (Jade eggs, $66, are currently unavailable on the site.)

Goop has some fine advice, for example, [in] an article on sleep on their site, Gunter said in a statement provided to Yahoo Lifestyle. They also distribute some dangerous advice, for example drinking goats milk to treat parasites (the parasites are non-existent). When good information is next to harmful and presented in the same way, how can people distinguish? In addition, they sell useless and potentially harmful products, such as supplements.

Gunter continued: Finally, they have used their international platform to advance harmful ideas, many of which are medical conspiracy theories. For example, bras cause breast cancer (they don't), fears about vaccine safety and concerns about fluoride, adding, The supplements are not supported by science. At all. The idea that a medium can help with health is as anti-science as one can be; it is the definition of snake oil. So you'll have to ask Goop for the science behind their myriad of false claims.

Critics are concerned that those misleading claims will now have an even bigger platform on The Goop Lab, with Netflixs 167 million subscribers worldwide. Ars Technicas Beth Mole writes that, on the show, Paltrows ignorance and lack of critical thinking skills are on full display as a parade of questionable experts with the noted exception of sex educator Betty Dodson, PhD and ridiculous claims about health and science march across the small screen unchallenged.

Caulfield tells Yahoo Lifestyle, The spreading of misinformation can have a real impact. Just being exposed to this nonsense can make it seem more plausible, especially if it is packaged in a memorable manner.

He adds, I also think that a show like this adds more noise to an already confused health information environment. In this age of misinformation, it is disappointing to see an entity like Goop, which has a long history of profiting from misinformation, have the opportunity to push more pseudoscience. We shouldn't forget that Goop and Gwyneth benefit financially from the growth of their brand, which is what this show does. It is an infomercial for Goop, not an independent science-informed documentary.

Critics have also called out Netflix, saying this isnt the first time the streaming service has created controversy with its health documentaries. As HuffPost U.K. (HuffPost U.K. and Yahoo are owned by the same parent company, Verizon Media) put it: The streaming service has a history of producing irresponsible health programs that could potentially affect viewers.

In 2019, RealClearScience.com posted a list of multiple shows that have aired on Netflix, which the publication dubbed anti-science documentaries, while the American Council on Science and Health shared their own list back in 2017. The documentaries called out include What the Health, Cowspiracy and The Magic Pill.

In What the Health, Vox wrote that the film cherry-picks studies about nutrition and often exaggerates their findings or reports them out of context, to drive home his case for veganism and cranks the food fear sirens to irresponsibly high levels, such as claiming that eating processed meats is as bad for you as smoking.

As Vox points out, theres a causal link between eating processed meat and certain types of cancer in humans, chiefly colorectal cancer. But the actual risk is quite modest and far, far smaller than the cancer risks from smoking. According to the World Health Organization, processed meat has been classified in the same category as causes of cancer such as tobacco smoking and asbestos... but this does NOT mean that they are all equally dangerous.

In The Magic Pill, Australian chef Pete Evans claims that the popular keto diet can treat type 2 diabetes, cancer and autism. Michael Gannon, then president of the Australian Medical Association (AMA), called The Magic Pill hurtful, harmful and mean and compared it to the controversial film, Vaxxed, telling the West Australian in 2017 that both films were competing in the awards for the films least likely to contribute to public health.

In 2018, the current AMA president, Tony Bartone, MD, shared his own opinion about The Magic Pill, telling the Sydney Morning Herald: All forms of media have to take a responsible attitude when trying to spread a message of wellness. Netflix should do the responsible thing. They shouldn't screen it. The risk of misinformation... is too great.

While noting that Netflix has some incredible documentaries, HuffPosts Todd Van Luling (HuffPost and Yahoo are owned by the same parent company, Verizon Media) writes that many of the documentaries the streaming service adds each month make dubious claims that wouldnt withstand scrutiny from a fact-checker.

But in at least one case, Netflix appears to have listened to critics by pulling the documentary, Root Cause, in March 2019, which came under fire after several medical organizations, including the American Dental Association, said the film falsely links the root canal procedure to breast cancer and heart disease, employing baseless claims gleaned from discredited 1920s research, according to the Philadelphia Inquirer.

'The Goop Lab' and other controversial documentaries: Why Netflix is facing criticism for promoting 'pseudoscience' - Yahoo Lifestyle

Most of us try our best to live a healthy lifestyle by exercising and eating right and for good reason. Maintaining our health helps ensure that our immune system, our body's defense system that protects against foreign invaders, is strong. Without a fighting immune system, we become susceptible to all sorts of infectious diseases and viruses.

Staying hydrated is one way to boost your immune system. Make it a habit to drink a glass first thing in the morning.

There are big things we can do to keep our immune systems healthy, including eating right, exercising and staying up-to-date with vaccines, but there are also small things we can do on a daily basis to keep our body's defense system in tip-top shape.

In that spirit, here are nine everyday microhabits that can help boost your immune system and keep your body healthy.

Even if you don't smoke, you may suffer from the damage it can cause to parts of your immune system if you are exposed to it secondhand, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

"Chronic secondhand smoke exposure causes inflammation of both upper and lower respiratory tract and impairs the immune system's ability to produce antibodies in response to exposure to bacteria," explains Julia Blank, MD, family medicine physician at Providence Saint John's Health Center in Santa Monica, California. "This leads to decreased clearance of bacteria from the lungs and increases asthma flares, which can both make a person more vulnerable to infection."

Try to avoid places where you'll be exposed to secondhand smoke, and ask others around you to get in the habit of going outside if and when they smoke.

Protein is an essential component of a healthy immune system.

Protein is a vital nutrient for many reasons. It helps the body build and repair tissue, and it's also the centerpiece of a healthy immune system, says Roger Adams, PhD, personal trainer, doctor of nutrition and owner of eatrightfitness.

Research, including a March 2016 study in Food & Function, has shown that protein from high-quality sources (i.e. lean meat) is essential for optimal health. "If protein intake is poor, it can impair the body's ability to make antibodies, large proteins produced by the immune system in response to the invasion of foreign molecules," Adams says. "Without sufficient protein to make antibodies, the immune system loses its ability to fight infections."

Protein can be easier to come by at lunch or dinnertime, so breakfast is the perfect meal to squeeze in more.

The American College of Sports Medicine recommends getting 0.8 grams of protein per kilogram (or 2.2 pounds) of body weight each day, but keep in mind that people who are active need more. Weight-lifters or those training for a running or cycling event should eat between 1.2 to 1.7 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight daily. To put that into perspective, a weight-lifter who weighs 170 pounds should be getting somewhere between 92 and 131 grams of protein each day.

This one might sound obvious, but too few people actually wash their hands well enough to eliminate illness-causing bacteria. In fact, one April 2013 study published in the Journal of Environmental Health observed the hand-washing behavior of nearly 4,000 people and found that as many as 95 percent don't wash their hands for a long enough time after going to the bathroom.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends washing your hands for at least 20 seconds to minimize germ exposure and keep the immune system from getting overwhelmed.

Sing the "Happy Birthday" song twice through as you soap up your hands to make sure you're hitting the 20-second mark.

All fruits and vegetables are beneficial for our health, but some can do more for our immune system than others. The cream of the crop are the ones rich in color, as they tend to have more nutrients, Adams says.

"The more colors, the more antioxidants, which the body uses to fight off free radicals that may contribute to cellular damage," he says. "Also, these foods are loaded with vitamins and minerals essential for a healthy immune system."

Unfortunately, most people aren't getting enough. For adults, the Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommends eating two cups of brightly colored fruits and two to three cups of vibrant veggies per day. But even one extra serving will do you good.

Getting enough sleep can help boost your immune system.

Sleep is essential to a healthy, functioning immune system. One February 2019 study in the_ Journal of Experimental Medicine_ found that a good night's sleep can boost the efficiency of T cells in the body, a type of white blood cell that helps the body fight off viruses.

"Many people stay up late and miss the opportunity to boost their immunity by proper sleep hygiene," says Shiva Lalezar, DO, functional medicine and anti-aging specialist. "The adrenal glands, which produce cortisol (the stress hormone), epinephrine and norepinephrine, get disrupted by poor or inadequate sleep, which, in turn has a negative impact on the immune system."

In order to go to bed at a proper hour, you have to create a healthy bedtime routine, according to the National Sleep Foundation. Start by giving yourself a curfew for example, head to bed at 10 p.m. every night and avoiding stimulating activities for at least four hours prior. Just like you set an alarm to wake up in the morning, set one to remind you to start winding down for sleep.

Staying hydrated by drinking enough water on a day-to-day basis will also give your immune system a boost.

"Dry mucous membranes and cracked skin can all be areas pathogens can invade your body," says Adams. "Staying hydrated will reduce dryness in essential areas, like the mucus membranes in your nose, and give your body's natural resources a better chance at warding off pathogens."

The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine recommends that men drink approximately 15.5 cups and women get 11.5 cups of H2O each day. Start by downing a glass first thing in the morning to start your day on the right foot.

According to Lalezar, a shot of ginger and lemon juice a day can help reduce inflammation and boost immunity.

"Ginger is a rich antioxidant and is antibacterial, and lemon is high in vitamin C, is an antioxidant and has antiviral and antibacterial properties," she says.

She recommends pre-mixing lemon juice with two tablespoons of minced or chopped ginger and keeping it in the fridge for a few weeks. "The lemon juice will act as a preservative to keep the ginger fresh during that time."

7 Microhabits to Easily Boost Your Immune System - LIVESTRONG.COM

From the GOLO diet to JLos healthy eating plan (Picture: Ella Byworth for Metro.co.uk)

Fad diets pop up on a regular basis, many of which are unhelpful and downright ridiculous.

If youre considering dieting, remember the golden rule: its not about starving yourself, and as with any lifestyle change, take care before making drastic changes to your food intake.

In the last year, weve explored the CICO diet (calories in, calories out), the milk diet (where you just drink milk every day, for four weeks please dont ) and carb cycling (which staggers the amount of carbohydrates that you consume).

We also investigated why ultra-processed foods are bad for us, how to make an easy Keto dinner and how the low FODmap diet can help those who suffer from IBS.

As its the end of the year, Google has just released searches for the most popular diets of 2019 and the results might surprise you.

Here are the diets that made the cut, and what theyre all about.

Intermittent fasting is technically not a diet, but an eating plan. It revolves around time restriction its not about what you eat, but when you eat it.

While there are many versions to choose from, the most popular tend to be 16:8 or 5:2.

With 16:8 you can eat during an eight-hour period, but outside of this time you are only allowed to consume non-calorie drinks. It has likely seen a boost after 50-year-old actress Jennifer Aniston, known for her toned frame, revealed that she follows this diet to keep her body in shape.

Meanwhile, 5:2 is focused on days; five days per week you have a normal diet, while only consuming 500 calories on the two other days. However, the time restriction is not set in stone; you can adjust the hours and days to suit your body type and needs.

The eating plan is meant to be help you get lean without having to restrict your food intake to specific foods, and some studies have shown that it can boost the bodys metabolism.

As the name suggests, this diet was named after a man called Dr Sebi, also known as Alfredo Darrington Bowman.

The herbalist developed an alkaline diet, which he believed would rid the body of mucus build-up and cleanse it.

This diet involves only consuming live and raw foods, including vegetables, fruits, nuts, seeds, herbs and spices. Essentially, everything that youd find in a Whole Foods isle.

Canned goods are a no-no, as are any animal products, soy, alcohol and fortified items (like cereals). You could also consider it a (very restricted) vegan diet.

Many high-profile celebrities who support the alkaline diet, including Victoria Beckham and Kate Hudson.

There has been some controversy around this diet. Dr Sebi claimed it could cure Aids, as well as various forms of cancer and other illnesses, but there has been no evidence to support this.

Similarly, a man named Robert Young, who claims to have invented the alkaline diet, has been convicted of two charges of practising medicine without a license.

Make of that what you will, but if youre going to restrict your diet to such an extent, its best to chat to a qualified nutritionist or medical professional first.

Noom is also not technically a diet, but actually a weight loss app that offers two programmes; healthy weight loss and one that is tailored for diabetes prevention.

It utilises a traffic light system to tell you which foods are healthy, and which to avoid or eat less of. Once you sign up, you will also be paired with your very own health coach.

So, does it work? Medical News Today reviewed Noom earlier this year, and highlighted several studies which demonstrated mixed results, most quite successful.

For instance, a study from 2016 revealed that out of 38,921 Noom users, 77.9% lost weight with the help of the app. The app also contains features to help you monitor your weight loss, in order to keep you on track, and it was found that those who kept on top of this saw more consistent weight loss.

Now for the downside: Noom focuses on calories, rather than nutrients. As users cant check this in the app, it might be more difficult for them to ensure their body gets everything it needs, including vitamins, minerals and fats.

Whats more, according to MNT, not all Noom coaches are certified with the National Board for Health & Wellness Coaching.

Youll also have to pay to use the app.

Heres the thing with calories: there are many factors that determine how many you are meant to consume each day so there is no one setting that works for all people.

This is dependent on your weight, height and how active you are on a day-to-day basis. By eating less calories, the stored fat in your body can burn off, but once again, counting calories often means that you forget about nutrients which are essential.

You need to get a certain amount of calcium and protein, vitamins and magnesium, and tailor the diet to your needs (i.e. the amount of calories yourbody needs). As an example, a lack of magnesium can lead to nausea, vomiting and fatigue, among other ailments.

According to a report by Public Health England in 2017, Brits should consume 1,800 calories per day. Prior to this announcement, this was recommended at 2,000 calories per day for women, and 2,500 for men.

This is only a guideline so speak to a personal trainer with nutritionist training or other professional to look over your personal diet, and how many calories you should stick to.

The GOLO diet has lost popularity; in 2016, it was the most searched weight loss method of the year.

It essentially revolves around insulin, and was put together by a team of experts including Jennifer Brooks, a chef who is board-certified in holistic nutrition and psychiatrist Dr. Keith Ablow, among others.

Those who wish to embark on the GOLO lifestyle needs to sign up on the website, and take part in the rescue programme which is said to repair your metabolism, balance hormone levels and achieve sustainable weight loss over the course of 30, 60 or 90 days.

This is done in three steps: calorie-reduction (around 1,300 to 1,800 per day), exercise and taking the GOLO Release supplement.

The latter is meant to be the defining element of the diet, which is perhaps unsurprising, given its trademarked and means customers need to come back or stick to GOLO to get access to it again.

GOLOs website boasts that many doctors are supportive of the diet, as well as glowing recommendations from users, but take this with a pinch of salt: self-promotion is easy. There is also not much in the way of studies to support the method i.e. that the supplement is of added benefit to people who are already managing a healthy diet and exercising.

Then again, the dietary plan in itself is quite inclusive, with a good level of nutrients included. Allowed foods include: fresh meats, fruits, vegetables, andhealthy fatsand of course fresh breads, pasta, and butter, according to the website.

It was created by reality TV star Heather Dubrow from The Real Housewives of Orange Country and her partner, plastic surgeon to the rich and famous, Dr Terry Dubrow.

There are three phases, each with a ,er, interesting names : red carpet ready, summer is coming and look hot while living like a human.

In short, this diet consists of intermittent fasting, but where it differs from the version weve explained above, this one includes dietary restrictions. Approved foods include vegetables, lean proteins and healthy fats. You also need to consider how much you consume, and avoid processed foods.

On the plus side, alcohol is allowed.

Be cautious, as the couple claims their plan will activate the anti-aging ability found in your cells and have apparently compared this process, known as autophagy, to plastic surgery.

Once again, add a pinch of salt to this diet.

The Sirtfood diet allows dark chocolate, caffeine and red wine. OK, thats not all you need to know, but its a pretty great benefit, as far as diets go.

Heres why its OK: these foods contain sirtuin activators which are said to improve metabolism, and in turn, help you lose weight, as well as reverse aging. Sirt foods, as they are known, include the aforementioned delights, as well as berries, kale, matcha green tea, walnuts, rocket, strawberries, soy, and more.

As for the diet itself, there are two steps to follow.

During the first step, which consists of seven days, you only consume 1,000 calories per day (see 1,200 calories above for why this can cause problems). You are only permitted to eat one meal, which must feature a lot of sirt foods, as well as three green juices. This lasts for three days.

For the remaining four days, you can have 1,500 calories, including two sirtfood dishes, and one more juice (yay?) per day. During phase two, you can have three meals and one green juice per day.

Authors of the book about the Sirtfood diet claim it can turn on your skinny gene. Were not thrilled about this term to begin with, but there is also very little research to support it.

This diet has been around for a while in one shape or another, but its been revived this year (it last made Googles list in 2015).

Back then, it was referred to as the zero carb diet, and it has proven popular with celebrities.

Its pretty much what it says on the tin: no carbs, no sugar. However, not all people who use this diet completely limit themselves; some will have a small carb intake, while others cut it out completely.

That means no pasta, refined grains, bread, starchy vegetables, milk or fruits (which have natural sugar). Instead, youll be munching on fish, eggs, cheese, water and tea.

Heres the problem: carbohydrates fuel our bodies. They are broken down into glucose, which is then used by our muscles and our brain.

If you cut out carbs and sugar completely, energy levels will drop and you may feel tired, and suffer from low blood sugar.

It sounds a bit alien-like, but endmorphs are not from another planet.

The phrase was introduced by William Sheldon, a psychologist in the 40s, who outlined it as one of three body types. The two others are called ectomorphic and mesomorphic.

According to him, endomorphs have a lower metabolism, due to having a bigger bone structure, less muscle and carrying more fat in the bodies.

The main aspect of the endomorph diet is to avoid refined carbs and eat healthy fats from proteins and nuts, as well as carbohydrates, vegetables and whole-grain foods. This is intertwined with a mix of cardio and strength training.

Exercise and healthy eating, basically.

Were not all that surprised that JLo has made the list, after showing off her toned physique in Hustlers earlier this year.

While her character might be out partying and doing tequila shots on the regular, youll have no such fun on Jennifers diet. Alcohol and caffeine are strictly forbidden, as are sweets, processed and starchy foods.

If you need a snack, reach for the fruit bowl or munch on some vegetables. Other foods that JLo likes include fish, sweet potatoes and brown rice. Nutrients are key, with the actress and singer focusing on stuffing as much vitamins and minerals into her diet as possible.

But its not just about food she also works out on a regular basis.

All in all, it appears to be a pretty healthy approach, though theres nothing wrong in indulging in a cheat day now and again.

JLo, sometimes we need cake and tequila shots, OK?

The most popular diets of 2019 revealed - Metro.co.uk

Boca Raton, FL, Dec. 13, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The natural aging process, called intrinsic aging, is largely controlled by our genes and shows up as visible lines on our face, a loss of youthful fullness, and thinner, drier skin. Extrinsic aging the environment and lifestyle choices unfortunately can add to skin aging prematurely.

Dr. Azza Halim, is a board-certified anesthesiologist, multi-speciality trained physician in aesthetic medicine and a member ofTheAmerican Academy of Anti Aging Medicine. Halim says, Reasons to look younger than your chronological age are many, ranging from enhancing self-esteem, as a part of an overall regimen to look and feel younger, or even professional career motivations or social reasons such as returning to the dating scene or even an upcoming reunion.

Azza MD Beauty is creating customized anti-aging treatment plans and beauty solutions are a major focus of the medical practice of Azza Halim, MD, a board-certified physician/anesthesiologist. Dr. Halim has a broad background in this field through her work with a wide range of surgeons and dermatologists who have mentored and trained her extensively.

Thankfully, in 2019, it is possible to slow down the effects of aging and improve the skins texture, tone and tautness, resulting in a more youthful looking skin all without surgery. To accomplish this reversal, non-invasive and minimally-invasive aesthetic procedures are quickly becoming the anti-aging treatment of choice to address skin rejuvenation.

Halim continues to say that high patient satisfaction, immediate results (and in some cases, long-term), no downtime, minimal discomfort, low incidence of adverse effects, shorter recovery time, and lower costs all make non-surgical anti-aging procedures a growing preference over traditional surgical options. Minimally invasive treatment options are also used routinely and successfully to maintain surgical results.

Today, younger and younger clients are sampling from the full menu of non-surgical aesthetic procedures and coupling them with an essential skincare routine at home choosing medical grade products they have purchased at the same anti-aging treatment clinic where they just finished getting their procedure. Our consultants work closely with our clients to match the best skin care product that will enhance the aesthetic procedure plan they have developed together.

The range of treatment options is wide open and can be overwhelming. Everyones aesthetics goals are different. Everyones facial anatomy is different. Everyones lifestyle circumstances are different.

Consulting with medical professionals who are specifically and rigorously trained and certified in aesthetic treatments is the best way to determine a treatment plan with the best non-surgical anti-aging procedures for you to achieve your best outcome. But its helpful to be at least familiar with the options. This is why Dr. Azza Halim not only customizes each treatment plan, she also educates her patients on every aspect and options available.

According to International Society of Plastic Surgeons (ISAPS), over 3,298,266 hyaluronic acid dermal filler procedures were performed annually. Additionally, technological advances have led to the development of various forms of hyaluronic acid dermal fillers, which differ according to the concentration of hyaluronic acid and the degree of crosslinking. These are known to enhance the longevity of the filler effect. These factors are anticipated to drive the market.

Rising fad of anti-aging driving the facial line correction treatment segment

Based on application, the dermal fillers market has been segregated into facial line correction treatment, lip enhancement, scar treatment, and others. The facial line correction treatment segment dominated the market in 2017. It is likely to continue the trend and expand at a high CAGR during the forecast period. Expansion of the segment can be attributed to the rising trend of anti-aging and increasing awareness about esthetic appearance among people.

Additionally, facial line correction treatment appeals to varied age demographic, ranging from young adults to enhance their youthful features to middle-aged adults for volume restoration and older individuals to maintain age-related symptoms. Marketing strategies employed by market players, wherein celebrities promote their products, are fueling the desire among the population to mimic their favorite celebrities. This, in turn, is boosting the demand for facial line correction treatment procedures.

Dermatology clinics to expand at high CAGR

In terms of end-user, the market has been split into hospitals, ambulatory surgical centers, dermatology clinics, and others. In terms of revenue, the hospitals segment dominated the market in 2017. It is likely to maintain the trend during the forecast period. However, the dermatology clinics segment is anticipated to expand at a robust growth rate during the forecast period. Robust expansion of the segment can be attributed to the increase in dermatology consultations and surge in preference for specialist dermatologists.

Growth in Asia Pacific to be driven by Japan and India

In terms of revenue, North America dominated the global dermal fillers market in 2017. The U.S. was the major revenue generating country in the region. Expansion of the market in the country can be attributed to a rise in the number of dermal filler procedures performed annually. According to American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) over 2.3 million dermal filler procedures were performed in 2017, an increase of over 3% over 2016.

The market in Asia Pacific is expected to expand at a high CAGR during the forecast period. Expansion of the market in the region can be attributed to the increasing demand for dermal filler procedures in Japan, India, and China. Hyaluronic acid dermal filler procedures are highly common non-surgical procedures performed in various countries across Asia Pacific, including Japan, China, India, and Thailand.

Strategic acquisitions is a key strategy adopted by key players

The report provides profiles of leading players operating in the global dermal fillers market. These players include Allergan plc, Sinclair Pharma (a subsidiary of Huadong Medicine Ltd), Merz Pharma GmbH & Co. KGaA, Nestle Skin Health (Galderma), BioPlus Co., Ltd., Bioxis pharmaceuticals, SCULPT Luxury Dermal Fillers LTD, Dr. Korman Laboratories Ltd., Prollenium Medical Technologies, Advanced Aesthetic Technologies, Inc., and TEOXANE Laboratories. For instance, in 2014, Nestle acquired several dermatology brands owned by Canada-based pharmaceuticals group Valeant, which added a range of dermal fillers to the Nestle skincare business. Nestles skincare business was established through the acquisition of Galderma.

LAS VEGAS, Dec. 12, 2019 /PRNewswire/ --On Friday Dec. 13, 2019, Dr. Nathan S. Bryan is the first to speak about the correlation between low nitric oxide levels and mental illness at the 27th Annual World Congress. With over 3,000 of his peers, Dr. Bryan will take center stage, speaking about the history, effects, causes and findings on nitric oxide, especially as it relates to mental health and neurological conditions.

Dr. Bryan has spent the past 20 years researching nitric oxide. His many seminal discoveries in the field of nitric oxide has led to dozens of issued U.S. and International Patents. He has published hundreds of peer-reviewed studies on nitric oxide and is considered an international expert on nitric oxide biochemistry and physiology.

Over 44 million American adults have a mental health condition. Since the release of the first State of Mental Health in America report (2015), there has only been a slight decrease in the number of adults who have a mental health condition (from 18.19% to 18.07%).

It is becoming increasingly clear that most if not all diseases are characterized or associated with perturbations in nitric oxide production/signaling. Loss of nitric oxide production is associated and even causal for most if not all chronic human diseases, including neurological disease. Therefore, restoring nitric oxide production may be one of the single most important therapeutic strategies for any health care practitioner. Therapeutics or strategies designed to restore normal nitric oxide homeostasis will have broad application and utility in human health and profoundly affect the health of our aging population. However, finding product technology, either drug therapy or nutritional and supplementation, is confusing and often fraught with products that do not work. Health care practitioners can no longer ignore nitric oxide in their patients. Patients cannot and will not heal without first restoring the production of nitric oxide. Development of nitric oxide-based therapeutics is and will continue to be a major focus of biotech, pharmaceutical and nutritional companies. Education of the public and health care practitioners is essential since nitric oxide is absolutely necessary for patient health and for healing the human body.

"Every dysfunctional or diseased tissue or organ in every human disease has a common denominator and that commonality is loss of regulation of blood flow to that tissue or organ due to the loss of nitric oxide production. This includes diseases such as Alzheimer's, ADHD, depression, erectile dysfunction, diabetes, heart disease. If you cannot get oxygen and nutrients to individual cells, these cells cannot perform and as a consequence they fail. In order to rescue these cells and make individual organs work better, we must first focus on restoring the production of nitric oxide. Without this, every other therapy will eventually fail. This is the missing link in treatment of every major health problem worldwide," says Dr. Bryan.

The 27th Annual World Congress delivers world-class education focused on integrative health: through the most recently emerging clinical research, newly discovered therapies, and future scientific advances. Considered to be the largest event in Anti-Aging Medicine, each year's conference features a combination of unique programming, a diverse audience, and a collaborative learning environment. With an agenda specifically engineered to maximize clinical education and sessions, and an Exhibit Hall featuring hundreds of companies spotlighting the latest products, devices, and services in the field, the World Congress allows attendees to learn the newest, most innovative protocols & practicesall of which can immediately be integrated into patient care. The event attracts thousands of healthcare practitioners and professionals from across the globe to redefine mission and transform the field of modern medicine through top-tier education: with the ultimate goal of enhancing and enriching the entire landscape of health.
